The term cybernetics was first used by Norbert Wiener around 1948. Wiener defined “cybernetics” as “communication and control in animal and machine,” artworks in Cybernetic Serendipity were either “produced with a cybernetic device or were cybernetic themselves.” (Reichardt) The 130 participants in the exhibition ranged from artists, engineers, composers, mathematicians, poets, and so on. Reichardt credits the seed of the exhibition to the German philosopher Max Bense, who encouraged her to study the nascent field of computer art. In conceiving the exhibition, Reichardt challenged the stereotype of art and technology and proposed that the two were inextricably linked in a common cybernetic system.
「科学とアーティストの関係、芸術と科学者の関係を提示する活動の領域を示すこと」「人間とエレクトロニクスがマシーンをコントロールし、コミュニケーションすることによって幸運を作り出す才能の発見」「どのように人間がコンピュータと新しいテクノロジーを利用して、創造性と創意工夫の視野を広げられるかの実証」
